MotherNature played havoc on one of the largest fields of the season at the Heath Care Information Systems (HCIS) Pro-Am at ArborLinks. As gusty winds and passing storms required the suspension of play multiple times throughout the day, Nick Wanderscheid, PGA of Green Valley G.C. remained calm and used a red hot putter to post a tournament best, and bogey free round of seven-under-par 65. Wanderscheid made seven birdies on his round and a birdie, birdie finish on #17 and #18 capped off a terrific round of golf.Finishing four strokes back at three-under-par 69 was Jon Petersen, PGA of Tiburon G.C. This was another solid performance for Petersen who is closing in on Jim White, PGA MP who is currently leading the OMEGA Senior PGA Professional of the Year points race. Rounding out the top three was Sam Jonell, PGA of Miracle Hills Golf & Tennis, Chad Lydiatt, PGA of Awarri Dunes G.C. and Justin Herron of Pacific Springs G.C. who finished at one-under-par 71.The team competition featuring a one-net and one-gross format was a shootout with multiple teams posting some terrific scores on the day. In the end, the team led by Troy Harder, PGA of Wayne C.C. and his amateur partners, Kelley Hansen, Rich Rethwisch and Doug Rose posted 21-under-par to capture the team title. Finishing second at 18-under-par was Petersen and his amateur partners, Carson Schaake, Alex Schaake and Bill Richards.
